Reviews
For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
With the rubble of the Battle of Britain still littering the streets of London, this movie takes a few minutes to paint an image of a countryside around the City that offers a few hours respite from struggle. It looks forward to the development of London's Green Belt, a ring of rural bliss around the urban center that the busy city still offers.And if you're going to paint a picture for the movies, who better to handle the camera than Jack Cardiff, that most painterly of Technicolor cameramen? He had proved his mettle with a series of portraits of India and the Near East in travelogues. In this one, he offers the movie goer a view of a bright, lovely, autumnal world just a bus ride away from bomb craters.
